World champions Heather "The Heat" Hardy and Ronica "Queen" Jeffrey join us to discuss their transition from fighters to becoming the two female head trainers at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn. They bring their signature unfiltered (super unfiltered/PG-13 at least) perspectives on boxing, training, and navigating life after competition while building their new Queen and Heat Podcast.

• How they're adjusting to life as trainers after successful boxing careers
• The decline in female amateur boxing despite women's professional boxing seeing unprecedented popularity
• The unique challenges of dating as successful female athletes in a male-dominated sport
• Their perspective on not competing in today's more lucrative era for women's boxing
• The physical toll of boxing and Heather's advocacy for fighter health and benefits
• Their support for current champion Claressa Shields and thoughts on the Serrano-Taylor trilogy
• The organic development of their podcast and vision for creating authentic boxing content
• Pride in helping build the foundation for today's generation of female boxers

Check out the Queen and Heat Podcast to hear more from these boxing legends as they continue to shape the future of women's combat sports.
